Grill Towel with a Leather Patch

So in case you missed it, yesterday I just posted this awesome tutorial for a Father's Day gift...a grill towel!

Maybe you already knew that and you came back today to see what else I came up with.

Well here is variation #1.

...Father's Day is June 19th!...

What I did:

used a leather elbow patch (found in notions section of fabric store)

freezer paper stenciled on the patch with fabric paint

hand stitched the patch to the towel with upholstery thread.

hand stitched green embroidery floss around edges- every two holes

added a grommet to the top corner instead of the middle of the towel

Notes: The elbow patch was a complete experiment, but I love the way it turned out. It was easy to sew on because it has pre-punched holes all around it. On my patches, it seemed that one side had more obvious holes than the other. That would be the front where you will stencil; this makes it way easier to sew on when you can see the holes! And I used 3 strands of green floss. Besides drying time for the paint...this is super quick!

Here's a sneak peek at the rest! Come back tomorrow- I will be featuring another one of these Father's Day Grillin' towels!
